This just so happens to be a favorite show and segment in our house. We, myself 2 teen kids and little 23 month old Emma, sing this around the house all the time. The song is catchy and sometimes it gets Emma to eat her green beans. LOL We dig the old school 70's/80's feel of the show. It's just silliness.

The green monster kind of creeped us out at first but he's kind of growing on us now. Like a fungus. =)

Oh, how I loathe this show. My boys have been banned from putting it on under pain of losing all TV time for a week. Who thinks these things are a good idea is beyond me. Wish I could get paid the big bucks like they do tho. LOL

YO CRAZY CRAZY!!! Just think there is someone that actually made that up! Now I am singing that song in my head as I go to bed... oh yeah oh yeah... "there's a party in my tummy....oh yeah, oh yeah"Have a great night Dawn!!Charlotte in Hawaii!!

There isn't anything about that show that doesn't make my eyes bleed. My kids LOVE it though. I can't find a good reason not to watch it, except I can't stand the sound/look. Stinking show promotes healthy eating, good manners, and lots of other things that I teach. (My smart little 7 year old uses the "You should like it, because they teach what you teach" argument on me.) I do like the if it hurts only a little "shake it off" song, and have used it during many a whiny moment. :) Thanks for the countless bits of entertainment.

i wish i hadn't watched that.... now i'm gonna have that song going thru my head all nite and any time i try to eat for the next week.here's a good youtube video to watch:http://youtube.com/watch?v=RxT5NwQUtVM

LOL! I had seen previews for that show a few weeks before it started. My kids were all excited, but I thought it looked pretty dumb. Thank goodness that was confirmed before I actually subjected them to it!

I see what you mean! I watched the video 10 minutes after waking up this morning. Ugh! I can feel the coffee sloshing around as we speak! I'm afraid to eat...I have to go to work this morning. What if my co-workers hear "the party?"

That is wrong on so mnay levels!!! P.S. I think a signed book for the 1st poster is a fab idea, as long as I win LOL. Felt closer to you this weekend than I have ever been, attended a wedding in Rolling Meadows.

My son LOVES this show!!! The first time I heard it though I was freakin' out. I mean, I was kinda blocking it out for a while until I heard "their's a party in my tummy" for the bazillionth time!!!! I know they are just trying to get the kids to eat their vegetables but don't you think its even scarier to have singing vegetables in your tummy??? Plus, he swallowed them whole....that could be dangerous! HAHAHAHA!

Ah yes.... Yo Gabba Gabba. Its like Baby Crack. I swear anytime my boys hear even a note of Yo gabba Gabba they come running and go crazy, they love it! Boombah, Tellatubbies, any of these superweird cartoons- I don't get it, but kids LOVE IT! At least from what I have caught in Yo Gabba Gabba- there really are some good lessons for kids. Sharing, about being scared, and based on this video- eating well "THERES A PARTY IN MY BELLY!"

So true! Do we really need a song telling us "Don't bite your friends"? Have you seen the one with the dancie dance partner that looks like Mama Cass in a skin tight super hero outfit? Talk about eyes bleeding.

I can't believe how many people haven't seen this until now! I had the...umm...fortune?..to see this earlier in the year. Sort of horrifying, isn't it? The whole program is odd, like that. Wonder what's in the water, over there?

The most frightening part of this was the last 7 seconds. I don't know if it was my computer or YouTube, but it just kept replaying the last 7 seconds, and my eyes were so glazed over it took 3 loops before I realized this was happening.

I wanted to shoot myself when I first saw this show as well. But it happens to come on right as I am fixing lunch, and does a half way decent job of holding my almost 2 year olds attention. Because of this prelunch distraction I can often get his lunch made and on the table without him hanging off the waist band of my pants. So I have learned to just tune it out. Earplugs would be better, but I try to be a good mom and make sure he is not diving off the coffee table or doing anything too dangerous when I am not with him.

I just watched this with my 3 year old. She loved it! Maybe she'll now start eating veggies....but I, on the other hand, will never look at food the same again! "A PARTY IN MY TUMMY?....NOT! I think I'm gonna throw up! I'm feeling as green as that hairy guy looks!

ahhhh, the next time something makes your eyes bleed, please...don't share it...lol, i couldn't even watch the whole thing, i don't even think my grandchildren would, but,...maybe they would. i'll try singing it to them the next time they won't eat something and see..."there's a party in your tummy!" (hope they don't choke laughing at me.)

Wow...and people actually WATCH that voluntarily?? I agree about the weight loss plan. I think you should contact the surgeon general -- that's the cure for obesity, if ever I've seen one. I'm going to go loofa my eyes now. And try to get that song out of my head....

so is the trick to getting the song out of your own brain is to put it in others?"There's a dumb song in my brain (oh yeah, oh yeah, a dumb song in my brain, (oh yeah, oh yeah)..." repeat until cured by chocolate.

Okay.. so i normally don't comment a lot on your site.. although i do LOVE reading it!But this morning i couldnt help but notice i could be the coveted first one!! So i couldnt pass it up!That was indeed FREAKY!

Gross!!! I'm so glad you wanted to share that with us. I prefered your son's safe! This is exactly why I refuse to buy the potty training books and movies. Some things are better left to the imagination.

Oh yes -- my 3 and a half year old daughter thinks this is just the best stuff EVER. It reminds me of a bad acid trip. She dances around singing 'there's a party in my tummy, so yummy, so yummy'. I'm 4 months pregnant, and she tells me that I've got a party in my tummy too -- uhhh, yeah, something like that. . .

UGH~ I am with you on Yo Gabba Gabba. It comes on right after Blue's Clues here in NC and I have been unfortunate enough to catch about 5 minutes of it as well. I don't want a "Party in my Tummy!!" It is a horribly annoying show! Give me pawprints anyday!

Seriously, you wouldn't believe how many preschoolers would actually eat their carrots and beans after watching this video. I remeber when my boys were younger (older than preschool), when my husband and I wanted to watch a movie without so many interruptions we would tell them we would time them running around the house 5 times(outside house). They would always want to beat their time so this could go on for awhile and then they would be too tired afterwards and go quietly to their rooms to play. If you think that is just horrible, they are now 15 & 20 and turned out just fine, even laughing about the timed relays. It is amazing what kids at a young age can be talked into, even eating their vegetables:-) Not leaving my name in case stones are thrown for making my children run around the house. We do have a big yard and live in a safe neighborhood!

The incredibly sad thing is that I viewed this when my 5-year-old and my 2 1/2-year-old were up. They were instantly mesmerized. The youngest is running around grumbling "I wanna see it again" and the 5-year-old is chanting "there's a party in my tummy" over and over.

This has got to be one of the scariest shows on tv! My twin 3 year olds and I watched it for the first time last week (I'm not sure why I let them watch the whole thing, I think it hypontized me, or least put me in a semi-coma). On the show we watched the green monster thing dropped his snack and it got covered with germs. The song scared my twins so badly (we are nasty ugly germs, we will make you sick!) I had to tell them that germs weren't real just to get them to eat their dinner. Now THAT may be the ultimate diet!

That show scares me too. I am glad I don't have my Directv anymore so I don't ever have to worry about that show invading my home for even a second. You washed a disposable diaper in the washing machine before, any advice on a crayon that made it into the wash? UGh!

OMGOSH! My daughter loves to play on Nick Jr.com. She found this video one day and played it like 86 times in a ROW...I had it stuck in my head for days. And now, guess what's back in there? LOL Thanks for sharing...haha

I've caught a glimpse of this show before. It's absolultely horrible. The way it sounds during the clip is the same way it sounds during the ENTIRE episode. It seriously makes me feel like I will break into seizures at any moment.

On other note, this is my first time posting a comment and I've wanted to before, but didn't have a chance. I'm a stay-at-home mom to two boys ages 1 and 4, but I babysit to bring home an income. All week long I have 3 kiddos plus my two and I go absolutely insane. That's only five kids and three of them get to go home at the end of the day. It makes me in awe of you that you are able to handle six that are all yours!

I'm not sure what that is, but every time I see something like that I wonder if that's what my students watch and home. Then I understand why they lack vocabulary...why can't we talk to kids with real genuine language anymore?

LOL! My 10mo loves asparagus. At what point do they begin loathing veggies?

On an unrelated topic, how about a chapter on fire. I've had quite the weekend ending w/ my baby's humidifier catching fire at about 4:30am this morning. Now this is a product I never associated with fire. (yes, we're all fine and I don't think there was any damage.)

the little clip was my first time every seeing this show. i've never heard of it before. my kids are 6 and 11 so there are way too old for "party in my tummy" type shows. thanks goodness because it was really stupid. but kids 5 and younger might like that type of thing. big ackward looking thing who dance and sings. it's kids tv.

We adore this show - I'm not sure what the PP is talking about regarding "real genuine language" (BTW, nice non-use of the comma, there) - but since this show reinforces many of the positives we already teach our 3 1/2 year old (saying please & thank you, sharing, being active, using imagination), we'll keep on watching.

Wow..no one likes this show??? I actually think it's pretty brilliant as annoying as it may be... Took a few episodes for me to get it, but it's pretty good. I can probably handle it more than watching "Joe" on Blues Clues. LOL And C'mon the guy from Devo draws on that show! Something for everything..LOL

Do you mind if I add your blog to my "google reader"--which is a program through igoogle that lets me know when my favorite blogs have been updated. I was also wondering if reading your blog through google reader takes away from the hits to your blog itself, or are you still able to make money through my "subscription" to your blog on google reader? Does this make sense? I just am happy to support such a talented and fun writer, and want to give you all the benefits that come from me (and many others) partaking of your humor every day!

Stuff like this makes me doubly (is that even a word?) glad that I don't let my kids watch TV and won't until they're in primary.Here in Europe people are much stricter with TV time anyway, and I've rekindled my love for BBC's nature documentaries which I watched when I was little (when I watched TV at all).

At the moment the twins don't ever sit still except for sitting under the table for our evening songs (my DH or I play the piano and the kids and I sing) and on the bed for their bedtime story.

We love this show in our house! The songs are hip and catchy! We are always singing them to our daughter. We don't watch much TV at all so I DVR them and when I need to get something done I put it on because she just loves to dance!

I guess I must be in a serious minority here - but I actually think the show is kind of cute, and really has some good messages. This is one of my (almost 3 yr. old) daughter's favorite shows. She's been watching it since it first aired, and we have all the episodes dvr'd so she can watch when nothing else is on. I'm cracking up at all the comments.

Actually, I don't know what's funnier - the comments on the 'scary-ness' of this show, or the ones about all the people thinking they are the first commentors! Guess they don't get the whole comment moderation thing - that the comments don't show up as soon as they are made! Sorry - I didn't mean that in any snippy sort of way - I just truly find it amusing! (and funny!)

Am I the only parent on earth that uses anthropomorphosis (giving human qualities to inanimate objects) to help introduce my baby to the world? Surely not.

My mother once told my little sister that if she didn't get into her sleep sack she would turn into an ice cube, and then she (my mother) would put her in a cup of tea and drink her up and she wouldn't exist anymore--now THAT's scary.

Ok, I'm posting again, but this is in response to "Dr. Laura" regarding sippy cups. I'm a mom of 3 and daycare provider for infants for the last 4 years, so I've had some experience here. The best way I've found to get babies to switch is "cold turkey" when they turn one. You take them off the formula which goes in a bottle and milk goes in the cup. Those toss and go cups are good because they don't spill too much but are easy to drink from. Some kiddos fight it a little harder than others, but when they find out that's all they get, they adjust quickly. Only give milk at meals and water for roaming with. I find the younger you do this the better. At one they aren't as stubborn.

And people get paid royalties on this everytime the music is played?Okay, if people can paid to write and produce this stuff, there is no excuse for ANYONE not having a job or income, except people who actually want to be PROUD of how they make a living.The monster thing could almost be adorable, but I think there is a party going on , on top of his head, a candy corn type party.I'm glad this bothers other people!

Hello Miller Lite...what is that you say? You want to go to the party in my tummy..... okay... chug chug chug..... Hello Mr. Margarita...what is it? Oh you want to go to the party too... okay... gulp gulp gulp....

Yo Gabba Gabba for adults! Or at least this one b/c after watching it I feel a strong cumpulsiveness to run STRAIGHT to the liqour store.....

TG that comes on while the kids are at school and the toddler doesn't watch tv!

My six year old highly approves of this video. "I think it's funny" she says. They obviously appeal to what is their probable target audience though it's somewhat repulsive to those who have matured a bit more.

A pox on you! I had just gotten that song out of my head! :-) My 2 and 4 yo's LOVE it. I resisted watching Teletubbies because I felt the writers were on acid, but when my oldest fell in love with it I grew to like and appreciate it. Now there's Yo Gabba Gabba. I resisted, hated at first (the characters still make me cringe a little, okay, a lot), but now I just go with the 70's flow and the house music dance vibe... so yummy, so yummy.

What kind of television programming do you have?! I am SO very glad I have none at all. The idea of running into that on tv makes me... well... shudder. Laugh. Cry. It's like Jerry Springer for kids. Or a trainwreck. Wow. I guess the cable networks are really strugglin' 'eh?!

I'm still a bit reeling at the thought of letting my Twin Terrors watch TV. People in Europe (especially my pediatrician) tell me this will cause hyperactivity and ADD. I don't know, but from personal experience with TV-watching and non-TV-watching kindergardeners in the neighborhood I'm inclined to believe him. Yes, it's the dose that counts, but what ever happened to The Hungry Caterpillar which makes my twins want to eat all the yummy fruit and veggies the caterpillar eats?

I don't know, I'm not really buying into that shiny, loud, sparkly world of pre-school TV.

(and just yesterday, when we passed the TV aisle in the supermarket the twins were complaining that "it's loud, Mommy" and "the pictures are wobbly". I feel so vindicated right now. DH wanted me to relax my rules a little since "all the others do it, too". :P)

I think what scares me even more than this show is the article I just read in yesterday's NY Times Magazine saying that they are now labeling the original Sesame Street episodes as 'potentially harmful' to children. And this stuff is considered 'good'? Yikes!!

My little guy has been sucked into this mess and it drives me NUTS! The only thing creepier than Krobie (the green striped thing) is Muno. He's a giant, orange bumpy thing that looks like a vaguely phallic dog toy. And just who not only sits around thinking up with songs like "Don't Bite Your Friends", who thinks it's good enough to put on TV and PAY THEM FOR IT?! And the whole "Party In My Tummy" reminds me too much of the short lived maxi pad gimick where they printed confetti on the top liner and used the slogan "have a party in your panties". No matter how you slice it, it's just WRONG.

Am I the only one that has the distinct feeling that the special guest of honor at all the writer's meetings over at Yo Gabba Gabba HQ is a lady named, Mary Jane?

My 2 1/2-year-old loves Yo Gabba Gabba, especially that song. It's one of the shows I let him watch when I have something to do that takes me far, far away from the TV, but I can't complain about the messages of the show. So many of the songs mimic our rules that he'll start singing one of the songs - and then obey us! As you know, getting a selectively deaf 2-year-old to obey on the first try is no small accomplishment, so I reckon I'll keep letting him watch.

Oh, the sad thing is that we love this show in my house! I have to say that even I love the show. We walk around singing "There's a party in my tummy" all the time. When my daughter fell down the other day, she stood up, shook and sang, "Shake off the boo boos" (another Yo Gabba Gabba favorite). I was always freaked out by the Teletubbies and BoohBuh, but for some reason these guys seem cute to me and I actually like the lessons of the show. Guess there's no accounting for taste, huh?
